We buy all our large use essentials from Sam’s (gas, toilet paper, tide pods, meat, frozen foods, etc.). I also love to get produce from Sam’s. I find the portions are great for a week or two and the prices and quality are wonderful. I love their scan and go feature! It has saved me so much sanity from waiting in those long lines many many times.
Another thing I love about Sam’s Club Plus Membership is you get free shipping! So even if you live a little bit of a drive away from Sam’s Club you can have dry goods and household items shipped to your house for free!
Some items will charge you more per item, even with free shipping. Had the most expensive membership and still increased the items. For example, coconut oil. Was over a $1 more to ship
@@cyndiaquino3874 good to know! I don’t have a Sam’s Club locally so I normally just compare to the prices at Costco near me and Sam’s is still cheaper on most things for me 😊.
We are a family of 4 and even when we were a family of 3 I’ve always shopped at Costco. I always have grocery items that I use the most on hand! No running out to the store for milk or eggs or other miscellaneous items because I buy in bulk and I am always stocked!
You explained this very well for those just getting started wholesale shopping. We use the 5% cash back also to pay our membership every year. We also use their pickup with the plus membership often. I love only having to pick up odds and ends that we don't get at Sam's Club. I literally have more time to do other things. You really do a great job budgeting for your family 😊❤
This is how I’ve been doing our shopping since September and it’s kept me on track with our new budget. For 5 people I allow $200 at Sam’s each month and $60 every Friday for local grocery stores. We have a stocked pantry and lots of frozen meat and toiletries already. When we’ve used up some of that I suspect I’ll bump Sam’s up to $300 each month. The price comparison is amazing on most items. You have to know your price points first. I use the online shopping feature to tally up my purchases before I go to Sam’s and to know if my items are in stock. I also plan my shopping by what Sam’s has on sale each month, saving even more $$$!
So helpful as always! We are a family of 6 and rely on Sam’s Club to get bulk items for less. We also live in Texas and we live in a rural town. Sam’s is 30 mins away but Costco is over an hour away for us too. I don’t really prefer Costco, anyway. For some reason I find it easier to blow your budget in Costco 😂
I've never had a Sam's Club membership but I've heard it is a great investment. I had a Costco membership but we are a small family of 3 so I didn't keep it. Considering getting a bulk store membership again mostly for the bulk paper products.
We live in South Carolina, in an area where we have access to, both, Sam’s and Costco. We have memberships to both only because my husbands job gave us our Costco membership for free. I personally prefer Sam’s for most things. Costco has some things I will go stock up on a few times a year but Sam’s is definitely my go-to. A snack idea your family might like are the Aussie bites in the bakery section. They stay fresh for a really long time, like over a month. I like them because it’s one way to get my kids to eat things like quinoa, seeds, etc., that they might not otherwise eat. I usually serve them to my kids with a wedge of cheese or some fruit. They devour this snack! 😋
Love sams! Mine is bOut an hour away but worth it once or twice a month 🎉 I have 5 sometimes 6 kids at home they are teens and tweens and a 6 year old so they eat way more than a when they were babies lol
If you can get to Sam’s super early on a week day morning, you can usually find meats marked down! They mark them down the day BEFORE the sell by date at my local Sam’s. I’ve had super good luck on Thursday mornings for some reason.
Loved this shopping trip ! I really miss my Sam’s Club in Ohio since I moved to New Jersey I’m not near one as close as I was ,,I better look it up. I really miss Sam’s Club.! the kids are so cute Abby!! shopping with two little baby dolls!!🍡🎉🍭🥰🍬🍬🎊🎈💐🕊️💫💕🍬😊
Love Sam’s… I’m a premium member and have their credit card. You additional benefits using it when purchasing. I’m probably 50 minutes from Sam’s and the nearest Costco is 3 hours..
The only thing I dislike about our Costco (Sam's) and the gas, is you have to go in the front entrance to see the gas prices. They don't advertise them at the gas pumps. It's the silliest thing I've heard!
I have the Gas Buddy app for the Gas prices in town n Sam’s is included. Will show u nearest locations to you. Gas prices change here daily so it updates as people post cheapest Gas ⛽️ prices , daily that’s really helpful.
Thanks for sharing. Love the big eyed happy smiling baby. You and Way Crunchy (also with a new baby) should do a video together, both fun, frugal and great moms with kids and new babies.
Wish me luck... we are doing our monthly Sam's haul this coming Wednesday! 😅 Shouldn't be too bad, but I'm hoping to include food for Christmas/New Years and college kid restock, which I have $$ set aside for!
I love Sams but the closes to me is about an hour and half ugh, so yesterday I placed a ship to me order (1st time) we will see. !st draw back is all items are not shipped altogether but they are coming fast so with well planning it can be done. 2nd draw back no cold stuff. I can get the cold stuff closed to home but everything that I ordered is much cheaper and you get more with Sams.
Do you find a big difference in savings on mostly pantry staples and freezer items, or do you see it in the fresh food as well, i was wondering if the meat, seafood and veggies are a good savings there as well, or maybe not so much, i haven't shopped at Sams in years, haven't even been in one either in that long....... Thank you for sharing
I do they have a variety Christmas tins with cookies chocolate pretzels popcorn tins or variety bags. Variety Gift cards love buying clothes there Pj sets love going there for Christmas shopping.
I love sams. We get some of our medicines there as well. One of my husbands medicines is over $70 cheaper at sams than with his insurance at CVS. I have figured out what we need and we are able to shop every 3 months now. Our store is like 40 mins away.
We love SAMs. It is less than 3 miles from our house. We always get gas there. Handicap van parking is the most difficult part for us but we make it work!!
Hey Abby, Happy Thursday. I have to get my own Sam’s club membership because they’re so cheap right now. I used to use my mother in law’s membership but I want to get my own. Thank you for letting me know about how cheap the memberships are right now they’re normally over a hundred dollars so I’m definitely checking it out. ❤ I love all of your budget videos you’re really good at it and you give me tips on budgeting which I’m pretty good at it too you just help me a little more with it. ❤

@@dsegobiano87 Yesss! 😂
Is this just for Sam's membership or do you have to be a Plus member to get free shipping perk?
Love these videos! They’re so helpful and I love the idea of shopping bulk once a month and then filling in weekly as needed. Thanks for sharing!

My guess was a bit higher. Nicely done.
I'd love to see the stuffed peppers recipe. ✌️

Beautiful FAMILY, can't wait to watch. I have two kiddos and a husband. I always love shopping and saving tips for my family
I’m glad u are a member at Sam’s. Love to see ur videos more Sam’s hauls but like ur Aldi videos too.

Scan and go is the best. I wish Costco would get something similar those lines are always so long.
Did you know those foaming handsoaps can be filled at home? We take large Softsoap refill and add around 20% and the rest water. 😎🤗
It's just hubby and me and we shop Sam's for half our items and yes you save when you have a years worth or 6 months worth
Enjoyed ur shopping trip at Sam's club, Do you ever shop at Member's Mark Drive?❤😊
Love Sam’s… I’m a premium member and have their credit card. You additional benefits using it when purchasing. I’m probably 50 minutes from Sam’s and the nearest Costco is 3 hours..

Our Sam’s has it on pump n great tall sign that can be seen from road as u turn in their parking lot.
Loving those babies smiling at their mama 😍😍😍💕
Thanks for sharing. Love the big eyed happy smiling baby. You and Way Crunchy (also with a new baby) should do a video together, both fun, frugal and great moms with kids and new babies.
Great Video 😁
Maybe use wagon load up to take in house . I have shopped for me and my only Sam’s for 20 years. Plus Sams get me free shipping I use a lot
Wish me luck... we are doing our monthly Sam's haul this coming Wednesday! 😅 Shouldn't be too bad, but I'm hoping to include food for Christmas/New Years and college kid restock, which I have $$ set aside for!
Everything at Sam's Club is definitely not cheaper than Aldi. Some things? Sure.
El Paso, Texas Sam's gas $2.37

Do you buy any Christmas gifts at Sam's Club? What gifts are your favorites ❤🎄🎁🎁🎁
I do they have a variety Christmas tins with cookies chocolate pretzels popcorn tins or variety bags. Variety Gift cards love buying clothes there Pj sets love going there for Christmas shopping.

When I click the link it says that the membership is $50. Is it just locally on sale or is there a promo code?
I really need to go back to Sams!
Our cheap gas as sams here on Oahu is currently $4.08
Yessss!!! Sams club girlies unite!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wow! $2.59 for gas😮 California $5 right now and that’s on a good day 😅
Long time no see! So no more Walmart?!
Hi! I still shop there
❤
FYI, SAMS isn’t always the cheapest. Their milk isn’t the cheapest. Nor are their veggies.
Our Sam’s club milk is over $3 a gallon but next door at Walmart it’s $1.92 a gallon!
@@kelliesabie exactly! Same with the frozen veggies. They’re like $1.16 for a 16oz bag. At the Sam’s is almost $9 or $10 for 4 16oz bags!
Im crying at my local CA Sam’s Club $4.99/gal gas prices😫
That’s horrible way to high ugh sorry to hear that yikes 😱
Sam’s is $2.49 today
I think 250.00
We love SAMs. It is less than 3 miles from our house. We always get gas there. Handicap van parking is the most difficult part for us but we make it work!!

Costco is overrated in my personal opinion. I favor Sam's club over Costco.
Went to Sam's website thru your link to get the $25 membership. It's not valid..
😩
are you pregnant again?
That’s messed up n RUDE
U never ask a woman that 🙄
